Abstract
We present a segmented linear surface electrode ion trap design
that can be used for various applications in optical clocks and quantum
computation based on trapped 171Yb+ ions. Our simulations show that
calculated trap depth can reach up to several eV and that the
pseudopotential minimum of the trap is located above the trap surface at
a distance greater than 80 μm. The described pseudopotential
simulations and calculations of different trap parameters can be used to
design the planar trap with required parameters. This design could be
scaled to store a long chain of ions and used for quantum logic
applications as well.
